PC's with magic items makes the much too hard to kill!  Pffttt.... Magic Items...For PC's.... *harumph*<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Random Tables 99% of the time. Only on very rare occasion will I re-roll. Usually when I just don't like the item or it is FAR to powerful to keep the PC's alive. E.g., a level 2 character finds a Vorpal Sword or something; a Vorpal Sword will be pretty famous...and in the space of a couple weeks at most, said 2nd level PC will have to fight off Sir Brinesore, Black Knight of the Kingdom of Vornn who claims it as his legal birthright...oh, did I forget to mention Sir Brinesore is a 14th level Paladin of Vengeance? True Story: In a 2e game a friend of mine ran one time back in the late 90's, a fellow player (best friend at the time) was a 1st or 2nd level drow fighter. He found a  vorpal sword, iirc. My buddy said "Huh. Ok, I head towards to docks. Are there any ships around with people on them? If so I'll wait until night. ... ... Ok, so nobody around? Great, I take out the sword, wrap it up in a large sack filled with rocks and tied with 50' of silk rope. Then I toss it off the end of the longest dock, into the ocean".  His reasoning? No effing way was he going to be walking around with that big "please kill me and take my item" sign on his neck. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />^_^Paul L.
